Remember how he reacted to mamdani? Dude is afraid of progressives.
Because he knows he only got elected by parroting a right wing version of populist politics popularized by Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election. He can win against the establishment candidates, but fails against progressives head to head and he knows it.
He hated the idea of Mamdani...
But after they met he couldn't shut up about how much he loved the guy.
He made it move
What?
penis
He hates how strong sympathetic man makes him hard
Thats the best Chance trump can give to Platner
I know people keep saying “every accusation is an admission” with this administration, but I don’t think Trump could be any more on the nose describing himself this time.
Pigs can be charming. Trump is not.
That sure sounds like classic projection. The dumb fuck is talking about himself.
Any time a billionaire of any kind says someone is anything negative, that’s the person to vote for.
Translation: not an AIPAC traitor or a pedophile
Any shit-talk from thug-pig Trump is an endorsement.
That’s really not the endorsement he thinks it is to Collins
Every day is Opposite Day.
I'm a little curious if this helps or hurts. Collins tries to pass herself off as the most moderate of Republicans, so it could chill her usual base... but, she also is disliked by MAGA folk, so this might give them marching orders.
My guess is it's a net negative because she's already done her homework and knows she needs to position herself a moderate to win Maine... especially if Platner struggles with them as I think he might.
"Felon Rapist Pedophile Calls Others Thugs & Pigs"
Hah, wait until I try to run for office!!
If Trump can be president, then you, being a much smarter person (not just probably, but definitely, even though I haven't looked at your post history and have no idea who you are) have a chance at winning whatever seat you'd like.
